At some point, because it’s an additional responsibility for you to tend to, you’ll probably take a day off or so from sticking with your usual self-care guidelines in favor of doing more work or getting something urgent done.  At the time, you’ll feel like this is fine, and it might be a necessary sacrifice every now and again. However, if you start to make a habit out of giving up your self-care, you’re going to find yourself in a less than desirable state rather quickly. The first aspect of self-care that seems to go most often are workouts or anything having to do with physical fitness and well-being. People often find this to be the least enjoyable part of self-care, so if they need a little extra time, they’ll skimp out on this most often.  This could mean missing a few workouts or getting some unhealthy fast food instead…

Both Men and Women Benefit from Self Care A problem that so many guys tend to have these days is acting too tough. They think that if you do or enjoy some things in your life that aren’t stereotypically macho, then you’re not really manly.  In reality, it’s not that easy.

10 Minutes a Day of Self Care Could Be a Game Changer Something that tends to hold people off from starting down a path of self-care is that they don’t feel as though they have enough time to make that kind of a commitment. They assume that it’ll be hours out of their day that they currently need for other tasks, and they don’t want to cut back that much just to feel a bit better.  But in reality, you don’t need to take a ton of time out of your day in order to get a self-care routine going. Just a mere 10 minutes a day will do. Self-care doesn’t have to take up a lot of time.  If you have the time to dedicate an hour to physical health and an hour to mental health, that’s great. However, this amount of time is not a requirement at all…
